We're going to a courthouse wedding soon and I need a dress. I want this one but I think it's too casual even for a courthouse thing:

But on the other hand, it's super cute BUT expensive enough that I'd need a good reason like a wedding to justify buying it. Ugh. Modcloth is letting me down, everything is too casual or too formal and the only other things I like are white, which would probably just be weird.

I love that dress so much! I think you could make it work for a courthouse wedding, depending on what you wear it with. Buy it so I can live vicariously through you!

I really want this! http://shopruche.com/orchid-dress.html Doesn't have a copyable picture, sorry. It's so pretty but I don't think I can wear it since I have a pretty sizable rack. This dress looks better on smaller chesteders. :(

As a small chesteder, I can attest to the difficulty of wearing strapless dresses when you have nothing to er.....keep it up.

a question for the euro people here..is there anything remotely similar to modcloth in europe? i like some of their dresses and the 50s/60s style bikinis, but i don't wanna spend a fortune on postage if the stuff doesn't fit right..

I think that's the one I'm leaning towards. I usually go for more neutral colors, but since it's just one solid color, I can probably handle it. And bright colors like that usually make my tattoos look pretty awesome.

I need to measure myself. I have no idea what size I am anymore. Mostly medium, but maybe a large at modcloth?

Modcloth is weird. It's all fairly small in my opinion. I have had to send back a few things and am a medium. I like your first option, the blue one. It's so classic and you will be able to enjoy it for years to come. And with a dress like that in one color you can accessorize more heavily, with a striped dress it's quickly overdone. Have fun!

I totally count hairstyles (and fancy dyes) and tattoos as accessories.I own like 2 scarves and never wear them. Same goes for jewellery. If it can't stay in indefinitely, why bother putting it in (or on).That said, I really need 3 non-itchy studs for my ears. Surgical steel would be perfect (and match my industrial).

So after all the indecisiveness about which dress to buy, I decided I could get a few separates for the same price as one dress, which I'm in pretty dire need of because of weight loss. I ordered these (non-dresses, sorry!) for what I would've paid for the dress. Hopefully everything fits. I measured myself and ended up buying smaller than what I guessed my measurements were.
